Mr. Nimtz recognized and received the various do nts and ordered them entered into the Mrs Kolata explained that the basic change in the Rum Village Industrial Park is to allow for taxes generated from personal property to be captured as part of the tax increment. Up until this time the onl increment that was being captured was from the real property, and State law has recently changed to allow cities to use personal property as part of the tax increment. Mrs. Kolata read the following Finding of Fact regarding the evidence of blight in the Rum Vill ge Industrial Park: The Rum Village Industrial Park has been zoned "E Heavy Industrial for many years. Railroad service is available to the area and State Highway 23 aiid U.S. 31 serve the industrial park. The area is within the City limits and sewer and water are available. With these attributes, the area would normally be considered ideal for heavy indu try. However soil conditions are most unde irable for industrial development. Soil borir.gs have shown an unstable muck surface ranging from two to six feet throughout the area. The cost estimate to demuck, fill, and tamp one acre one foot in depth is $10,200. To remove and refill one acre three feet in depth would be $30,600. The extremely high cost of site preparation makes it impossible for industrial development of this area to take place as long as alternate industrial sites exist which need only normaL preparation. The average value for heavy industrial sites in this area is in the $4,001)-$5,000 per acre range. Prime industrial land in the Airport Industrial Park is available for uAder $25,000 per acre for rail sites which are s rued with water and City sewer and have paved streets, curbs, etc. y the New Energy Corporation of Indiana cted an ethanol plant within the Rum -5- South Bend edevelopment Commission Rescheduled Regular Meeting - December 21, 1985 6. NEW BUSINESS ( font . ) a. uonrcinuea.. . Village Industrial Park. This development only occurred because of public sector participation in site preparation costs. Through an Urban Development Action Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, $1,781,000 was used to remove the muck and replace it with stable soil and an additional $407,525 was needed to move ele tric power lines that crossed the site. Without this public assistance the project would not have been constructed. The Rum Village Industrial Park contains approximately 412 acres. Of this, approximately 77 acres are owned by New Energy Corporation of Indiana. The remainder of the area is vacant land. The cost of preparing the vacant land for ind strial development, when added to the fair mar et value of the land, far exceeds the fair mar et value for that land. It is therefore concluded that the Rum Village Ind strial Park is a blighted area due to soil conditions which cause exceedingly high site pre ration costs that prevent normal development of he property. The South Bend Redevelopment Commission finds that the Rum Village Industrial Park remains blighted to an extent that cannot be corrected by regalatory processes or the ordinary operation of private enterprise without resort to the Red velopment of Cities and Towns Act, and that it wilL be of public benefit to the public health and wel are to redevelop the Rum Village Industrial Park.
